I'm afraid this isn't the kind of change we'd be backporting, unless
you have a very good justification for a respective request. The
widest of a scope of such a backport that I'd see remotely possible
is when just documentation would get touched.

Also, process-wise, there wouldn't normally be patches sent to the
list for the stable trees. Exceptions are when the backporting is
non-trivial, or when something needs fixing there that doesn't
exist anymore in newer code. In all other cases it would simply be
a request to backport a certain change, possibly directly embedded
in the original submission (e.g. by means of a Fixes: tag).
